The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 649
“Mr. Milman.”
“What did you think of today’s meeting?” Jeremy asked.
Felicia leaned forward, thoughtful. “There are a few key areas that need some serious reworking…”
Jeremy nodded along, listening carefully as she laid out her ideas, never cutting her off. “Alright, can you put together a detailed plan for me?”
“I’ll get on it,” Felicia replied.
He closed his tablet, signaling the end of their session. “That’s enough for today. Go get ready. Let’s grab some dinner.”
Felicia agreed and headed out.
It was about eight when they sat down together at a seafood place.
Midway through the meal, Felicia’s phone rang. It was Anne.
Felicia answered, and Anne’s sweet voice came through. “Mommy, why are you eating so late?”
“I worked late tonight, so dinner’s running behind,” she explained.
Anne let out a little sigh. “Are you eating alone?”
“No, honey, I’m with my boss.”
“Is it Uncle Jeremy?”
Anne remembered visiting her mom’s office and meeting Jeremy before.
Felicia gave a soft hum of confirmation but didn’t stay on the phone long.
Once Anne hung up, she put her phone down and turned to Max, who was sitting beside her. Her little face was all scrunched up. “Dad, you should just marry Mom.”
Max slid an arm around her shoulders. “What’s going on, kiddo?” His voice was gentle.
Anne pouted, worry written all over her face. “Mom and Uncle Jeremy are always together. What if she starts to like him more? You need to make her like you faster so she’ll marry you instead. Then she won’t want to be with Uncle Jeremy.”
Felicia was swamped. She spent her days checking numbers, reviewing projects—barely making time for water breaks.
As for Jeremy, he fired several people, including some execs from important positions.
It sent a chill through the office. People spoke in hushed voices, nervous about who might be next.
Roen Capital had been growing so quickly that management struggled to keep up. When business was booming, no one noticed the cracks. But with last year’s drop in performance, problems were impossible to ignore. If they didn’t fix them now, things would only get worse.
This restructuring at the start of the year wasn’t just about planning for the future. It was a warning—loud and clear—for everyone on the team.
Saturday found Felicia still at the office, finishing up her reports.
When she went to see Jeremy, she caught sight of two fancy red invitation cards on his desk. Curiosity got the better of her. “Something special coming up?”
Jeremy picked up one of the cards and handed it over. “This one’s for you.”
Felicia blinked, surprised, and took it from his hand.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max)
Is this coming to an end...
Oh nooo!! Don’t tell me Max will get washed ashore on a remote island then loses all his memory, then falls inlove with the local girl who saves him. Then when he meets Felicia again he won’t recognize her and breaks her heart again. Additional plot twist is that Felicia is pregnant with their 2nd child. Please pleaseee don’t give us this scenario.. LOL!!!...
If Max can be forgiven Darrin can be forgiven. And I do not like this marriage business but if it has to happen I hope after he gets stranded on some remote island alone while Felicia and his family fight over custody she wins and also gets half his estate. Then by time he comes back she's found having and remarried. Lol...
The writer is good. They're making me interested in Max. I won't say like yet....
It seems the only one who hasn't suffered is Max. Even his family fakes anger and disappointment all their own doing so they suffer a little. Everyone else has suffered. Luke and Jeremy unrequited. Felicia has suffered the most from family to unrequited to romance to long suffering Mother. Even baby Anne never had a mother til Felicia suffered then came back only to suffer some more. lol...
Oh no what did Colton do?... I have a bone to pick. When Olisha had to go the hospital why beg for Felicia? When she so loved Max? Seemed like she was in on the setup for Felicia to see a suicide for the 2nd time orchestrated by holden and his brother again. I might drop this series it's becoming endless with no real satisfaction for me. I don't need it to end because it's like a soap opera but if things don't end up making sense, tying up loose storylines it's gonna get old fast for me. Good luck author....
Anne, I think your baby brother is on the way. Thank goodness it doesn't say that Felicia is crying just like the last time but still, there's no willingness on her part. Max! You need to try harder. Make her fall in love with you again....
The writer did a big one with Jeremy's speech to Max. He said almost everything that needed to be said. I have wanted Felicia or someone who knows the past to just tell that whole stinking family what they did and how disgusting they are and what they're doing now how unfair it all is to Felicia. A pity it was only Max but he really needed to hear this (plus more)....
I love the chase of this novel, how you’ve build each of the characters. They almost seem like real. I feel like I know them irl. But however I would like to know what’s max’s pov and what’s going on in his head. I truly believe max’s just a grey character. And also please please please update more!!!...
I was really hoping that Max and Felicia would end up together, but why did Max do that to Felicia? 😭 Is that his way of making Felicia overcome the trauma Holden caused her? I don't think that's helping at all. I just hope Max's character has some redeeming qualities in the coming chapters....
